The Most Dangerous Things You Can See in Museums

There are a lot of kinds of danger. Some threats are loud and obvious, others are covert and subtle. Some are immediate, others take months, years, or centuries to develop.

Persuasion is the last novel that Jane Austen completed. Anne Elliot is 28, in the autumn of her courtship years. She's not as persuadable as she was when she was 19 and refused a suitor. Will she have a second chance? And will she use it or squander it?
